Description
For the Vanquish H10 front axle. This lifts the fake steering ram/guide .5mm which prevents almost all binding. The steering link will still occasionally drag against the upper link mounts but when it does contact it it doesn't really bind up at all. In stock form the linkage can rotate to the point it binds on the housing itself.
After printing you may want to run a 13/64" (5.2mm) drill bit through it to ensure the linkage slides smoothly. Install everything but the small clamps that cap this ram. ensure it still slides smoothly, then install the clamps keeping in mind you cant fully seat the screws for it since the ram/guide has moved a bit. After you have the clamps in place re-check that the linkage still moves smoothly, if it doesn't loosen the screws for the clamps a tiny bit until it frees up.
I also shortened the overall length so that it isn't what limits steering angle, only the stops do now.
I used PETG with enough perimeters that it prints solid. I oriented it on the build plate so the tube portion is vertical and used organic supports but other supports are likely fine too.
